In a live casino game, a human dealer runs the game in real time from a casino gaming table, which can be seen via a live streaming video link. Players can make betting decisions via their mobile device or desktop and can communicate with the dealer in real time via a software interface.

Global will purchase the outstanding shares of Playgon for a purchase price of $9,500,000, payable by the issuance of 63,333,333 common shares in the capital of Global ("Common Shares") at an ascribed price of $0.15 per share.

There are a number of cross selling opportunities with our two products as they are focused in two of the hottest growth areas in online gaming, casino and sports. Going public at this time for Playgon provides access to new capital to fund our vision to become a dominate player in the Live Dealer market with our innovative proprietary new technology. We have spent the last four years getting ready and now is the time to introduce to the marketplace a mobile focused Live Dealer product that we expect to strongly resonate with the big operators in the sector."

Darcy Krogh adds, "Guido has been involved in the evolution of this gaming technology since its inception in early 2000. He is a leading expert in the Live Gaming space and Playgon possesses a unique technology that can be used for real money and social gaming on mobile applications. We are excited with the Playgon opportunity and to work alongside Guido to introduce this innovative technology to the marketplace."

Subject to the satisfaction of any agreed claims under the Agreement, 50% of the Indemnity Escrow Consideration Shares will be released to the Vendors on the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date of the Transaction and the balance will be released on the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date. In addition, 48,096,895 common shares of Playgon (the "Release Escrow Consideration Shares") will be subject to resale restrictions, such that 12.5% of the Release Escrow Consideration Shares shall be released for sale on a quarterly basis following the initial six-month anniversary of the Closing Date. The exact number of Indemnity Escrow Consideration Shares and the Release Escrow Consideration Shares are subject to adjustment on the closing date of the Transaction to reflect any increase in the principal amount of indebtedness issued by Playgon and accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Further, subject to the closing of the Transaction, Global has agreed to grant the right to nominate one individual to the board of directors of Global following the closing of the Transaction.
